Political Psychology of Migrations: Childhood and immigrant families in court cases between 1927 and 1931 in São Paulo – Brazil

Authors

Abstract

The Political Psychology of Migration is constituted from multicultural processes, migratory processes in which emotions and politics play a key role. Whether they are forced by wars and civil conflicts, whether they result from climatic phenomena or are motivated by economic issues, the individual-collective dynamics trigger psychopolitical processes, as we seek to understand elements of socio-psychic suffering or the dynamics related to acculturation processes. Here we will analyse documents related to the childhood of immigrants in Brazil, in order to know how immigrant families interacted with the judiciary to solve their problems and which demands were taken to court. Through the reading of the processes we seek to understand the challenges faced by families and children in the new society. We focused on the years 1927 to 1932.
